Raising a family in Maumee -thoughts?

Been meaning to ask this. Household incomes average around $81,739 in Maumee. With a population of 13,765, Maumee is a small town. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Am I overthinking this? Thanks in advance! The food scene here is surprisingly good.

Moved here from Raleigh about 10 years ago. I have mixed feelings honestly. Still getting used to pet-friendliness but Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want housing market, then yeah this place is great. But if traffic matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

I've lived in South for about 15 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I love the pace of life here. When I first moved here from Dallas, I was surprised by housing market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Good airport with direct flights
- The nightlife scene is challenging

The downsides:
- Property taxes are high
- Homeless population growing downtown

Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for singles. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
